Here's my quick list of the differences: What DreamCard Player Has That StackRunner Doesn't Have: --------------------------------------------------------------------- - Provides a secure mode to run stacks (default) - Contains and opens RevOnline Viewer; provides access to RO channels - Automatically checks for updates - Shows splash screen on launch What SR has that DCP Doesn't Have: --------------------------------------------------------------------- - Doesn't present a user interface (other than a simple "answer file" dialog) - Allows you to run a stack automatically on launch - Gives you the ability to provide a custom "answer file" prompt if your stack can't be found - Can automatically quit (or re-ask for a new stack) when the last stack closes - The 'answer file' dialog is displayed as a dialog on OS X so that a title prompt can be displayed (DCP uses a sheet, so it may not be clear what it's asking you to open) - Provides the 'answer file' dialog automatically if it isn't set to run a stack automatically (in DCP you have to click on a small button with a folder on it that has no label or tooltip) In general I would use SR to distribute known stacks to a specific "known" group of people, like a class or a client; the intention of SR is to get close to the true "application" experience. I would use DCP when you are distributing stacks via RevOnline for others to use, or when you need to have secure mode. > Thanks again for all you do for the Rev community. No problem!
